Chapter 476 Weird Drought [Triple in One]

"Is there an inexplicable dry situation in Alabasta? It seems that the crocodile can't sit still. Also, with that person, the interpretation of the historical text will not be a problem."

In early autumn, Nurkic received news from the adjutants of the detachments in the first half of the Great Channel, and immediately reported the news to Skyler.

Skyler looked at the report in his hand and muttered to himself. According to the report compiled by Nurkic, it was mentioned that in the whole summer of this year, except for the capital, there was no drop of rain in Alabasta.

This plunged Alabasta, which was already suffering from drought and lack of harvest, into chaos.

Fortunately, there is their rain hero, the sand crocodile Crocodile. Facing this unusual drought, Crocodile not only took out all the food stored in his rainland.

Even last year's profit from the casino in the rainy land was used to purchase food and clean water, and these materials were sent to various cities in Alabasta for free.

Drought is definitely not a rare thing in Alabasta. After all, it is dry all year round, and one or two cities have no rain all year round. In fact, it is not a special situation.

Therefore, even in such a special situation this year, the Navy did not suddenly react until the entire summer had passed. It was extremely unusual that there was no rain throughout the entire summer.

After noticing this, they suddenly became alert. Perhaps, this is what Nurkic had told them before about the possible situation in Alabasta.

When these pieces of information were placed in front of Skyler, she immediately thought of Robin, the surviving O'Hara scholar who had the ability to interpret historical texts, whom she had met in Spring Queen City last year.

Skyler has always known that the reason why Crocodile nestled in Alabasta was nothing more than for the so-called ancient weapon Pluto, trying to use that kind of thing to make up for his failure.

But Skyler has never made a move against Crocodile, the first reason is that Crocodile has helped her, even from her most desperate and dangerous time.

The second is that Schuyler does not have any evidence. After all, in the eyes of the people of Alabasta and many navies, Crocodile is a pirate who turns his back on the prodigal son, a hero of Alabasta, and a protector who lives in the rain. god.

The protective color on Crocodile made Skyler bound to attract a lot of criticism if he directly attacked him, and even the Shichibukai system, which took nearly two decades to establish, would collapse as a result.

This is unbearable for the navy and the world government. Once the Shichibukai system collapses, the world will return to the embarrassing situation of non-navy pirates.

The pirates who have no way out will only think that they will be imprisoned in the city of advancement anyway, so they will make trouble without any scruples. If that happens, there may only be one voice left in the navy.

There may be internal friction in the struggle between factions, but compared with only one voice, there are multiple factions, which can effectively prevent an organization from going to extremes, but brutal pirates will give birth to more and more hawks.

At that time, once the older generations such as Crane, Karp, and Zefa abdicate, the Navy is very likely to "go astray."

Therefore, the existence of the Qiwuhai not only makes the pirates feel that there is a way out and will not do everything, but also allows the navy to achieve a balance among various factions.

Crocodile represents not only him personally, so even Skyler will not be allowed to take action against Crocodile until he really violates the Qibuhai regulations.

After hearing Skyler talking to himself, Nurkic was a little confused. He didn't know what Skyler was talking about. After all, when Skyler was enjoying the holiday last year, he was busy in the headquarters.

As for Skyler's return, Nurkic was at most like other adjutants, asking their officers who had returned from their vacation whether the trip was going well or not.

As for the detailed process of the journey. Happiness is that of the chief, and there is no need for the adjutant to inquire.

Therefore, Nurkic didn't know who the so-called "that person" in Skyler's mouth was, but he also began to think about who that person was most likely to be.

First of all, his chief obviously knew that Crocodile had evil intentions a long time ago, but he has not carried out the conspiracy for so many years, it must be limited by people, or limited by no one.

At this moment, based on the words of his chief, it can be inferred that Crocodile is obviously the latter. Before this year, Crocodile could not complete his plot because he did not have the help of "that person".

Further deriving, what kind of ability does Crocodile lack? What kind of talent is needed?

First of all, force-based assistance can be ruled out. It is not that Nurkic underestimates the countries that join the world government, but that under the deliberate guidance of the world government, the countries that join the world government gradually lose their force against the enemy.

Maybe there are still some armies in the country, but they are just dealing with ordinary people and armies made up of ordinary people. In terms of the strength of people with natural fruit abilities

If you just want to defeat the country of Alabasta, then Crocodile alone is enough.

Moreover, even if they succeed in stealing the country by force, the fruits of victory will not last long. Even if the royal family of the Kingdom of Alabasta is completely wiped out, the world government will also help to suppress the bandits.

As for the question of being too late, the officials of the World Government, from the Five Old Stars to the outsourced personnel in Hong Kong, are extremely good at apologizing, and the other participating countries have to recognize the sincerity of the World Government's apology.

Therefore, stealing the country by force is not feasible, and Crocodile does not necessarily want the entire country, but

Nurkic narrowed his eyes slightly, and he instantly thought that Alabasta is not an ordinary member of the world government. Alabasta's royal ancestor is one of the twenty kings who co-founded the world government.

In other words, Alabasta may hide cards and treasures that even the world government, and even their current royal family, do not know about. Perhaps this is what Crocodile is planning.

And once you think of the period when the World Government was established, there are two topics that cannot be avoided, that is, the blank century and the historical text. Nurkic looked at Skyler and asked with some uncertainty:

"Sir, Alabasta, do you have something similar to the rumored road sign, which is extremely valuable and has been passed down for a long time?"

Hearing Nurkic's question, Skyler was taken aback. Good guy, the little bit of information she obtained by relying on her foresight seems to have no advantage at all in front of Nurkic.

Looking at Nurkic, Skyler said: "It seems that in the year at the headquarters, your growth has really been more than a little bit."

In the first half of the year when he became the leader of the Zanye Detachment again, Skyler has hardly made a move, because under Nurkic's dispatch, the entire sea area of ​​​​the G-5 branch is firmly controlled by the Zanye Detachment.

The ability Nurkic showed is undoubtedly a dimensionality reduction blow for those pirates who have just stepped into the new world. Even down, there are teams sent by Nurkic in various places in the branch sea area to carry out missions .

In the past, Nurkic did not have such an ability, but the "part-time job" of the general staff in just one year has allowed Nurkic's overall view and command and dispatch ability to go up to more than one level.

After all, before, there was only one detachment for Nurkic to dispatch, and his thinking was also limited to this detachment.

But after becoming the chief of staff, Nurkic dispatched the navy in six sea areas, breaking them into parts, breaking them into wholes, and taking one step to ten steps. Such an ability is extremely terrifying when used in dispatching a detachment. .

But Skyler originally thought that Nurkic had only made progress in dispatching troops, but he did not expect that he was so sensitive to such details that were difficult to observe even by observation.

Hearing his own official's praise, Nurkic showed a simple smile. He was over 40 years old, and he had completely settled down. He smiled, not because he was happy, but out of a secular sense of course.

Of course, he wasn't unhappy either. After all, Skyler's compliment also showed that his guess just now, at least from the general direction, was not wrong.

Skyler looked at Nurkic and said, "Do you have any other ideas? Say it boldly."

Nurkic heard Skyler's words, thought for a while, and said, "I guess Nicole Robin entered the Great Channel and became Crocodile's subordinate."

"What's the reason?"

"There are many unsolved mysteries in this world, but there are not many mysteries that have solutions and are only in the hands of a very few people, or even only one person.

Such as history text.

As for the interpretation of historical texts, in the past hundred years, there is only one place that can be commended, and that is the scholars of O'Hara in the West Sea.

O'Hara was wiped out, and all the scholars were exterminated. Only one person survived, and that was Nicole Robin.

If what Crocodile wants is really information, treasures or other things hidden in history, there must be people who understand history very well, and even people who can interpret the text of history. "

Nurkic began to talk about his vision, and seeing Skyler nod inadvertently, this kind of unspoken recognition opened up Nurkic's thinking, and continued:

"You just said a key word yourself, 'the man'! I think you've met Nicole Robin, sir.

Moreover, only she can make a difference between you and Lieutenant General Garp while threatening the sea. "

Seeing that Nurkic began to speak a little too accurately, Skyler waved his hand and said, "Nurkic, you are so smart, if one day I want to leave the navy, I must kill you.

Otherwise, keep you, if the navy wants to attack me, you are definitely my worst enemy. "

"Sir, I will only carry out your justice."

Nurkic expressed his loyalty in a timely manner. Although the level of trust between the two of them no longer requires these fluffy words, it was just to ease the atmosphere.

Skyler was no longer obsessed with Crocodile's "purpose", but pointed to the report in his hand and asked, "This is what you compiled. What's your opinion?"

"Creating panic, buying people's hearts, and causing King Cobra's reputation to plummet, I think, tomorrow there will be all kinds of discordant words spreading in Alabasta.

Even charged the crime of no rain in the whole country on the royal family of Alabasta. As for the method?

Maybe starting this summer, or even earlier.

If it is really a disaster, then there should be no rain in the whole country of Alabasta, instead of raining only in the capital, and the other places are extremely dry. This must be a man-made disaster.

Rusha Guo should not have this ability, maybe she is a dancing fan!

Crocodile wants to steal the country, but it cannot be him who steals the country, but the people steal the country, and then feed the fruits of their hands to Crocodile's mouth.

At the latest in midsummer next year, in Albana, the capital of Alabasta, or even more specifically, the palace and its surroundings, a large number of dancing fans with the royal family's imprint will suddenly appear.

And it was accidentally discovered by the people. Midsummer. It was their most struggling and desperate time in the new round of drought. Crocodile did not even need to do anything, and the people would spontaneously start to rebel against the royal family. "

Speaking of this, Nurkic paused, frowned and thought about it. After a while, he said: "Crocodile will take the initiative to let the navy know about the people's resistance."

"Why?"

Skyler asked curiously, after all, this was not shown in the original book, and if he did this, wouldn't Crocodile be afraid that the Navy would discover his secrets and plans?

But in Nurkic's eyes, Skyler is testing him. After all, it's so possible that his chief doesn't understand her brother, the so-called revolutionary Dorag?

However, he still did as Skyler wished, saying: "The Revolutionary Army will not let go of this opportunity, and similarly, Crocodile will not allow the Revolutionary Army to get a hand on his fruits.

Therefore, slow down the pace, attract the revolutionary army to take the bait, and then release the news to the navy, so that the revolutionary army will fall into a tired battle with the navy. At that time, no one will care about Crocodile.

It takes one year to brew public anger, one year to attract the revolutionary army, and to arrange the war between the revolutionary army and the navy, and another year to let the public anger completely burn Alabasta.

If no restrictions are imposed, Alabasta will surely become Crocodile's possession in midsummer three years later! "

After finishing his conclusion, Nurkic's face became extremely solemn. You must know that Alabasta is not just a member of the world government.

It is the territory of one of the twenty kings, and it can be called the largest country among the great waterways. Although it seems that Alabasta does not have any resources at present.

But it is impossible for Crocodile to seek a country with no resources and no value.

Unless Crocodile's purpose is to become the king of Alabasta, and then wait for a certain Draco lady to become one of her husbands and eventually become a half Draco.

But is it worth planning for so long? Obviously unreasonable, Alabasta definitely hides something deeply buried in history, something that Crocodile has spent more than ten years to obtain.

"Rearrange what you said, and send it back to the headquarters. If they don't notice, there is a high probability that it will evolve into the situation you mentioned.

If we notice that we can't do better, it only shows that most navies are still in the realm of disappointment. "

Seeing that Nurkic pushed these things out by relying on clues, Skyler felt a little frustrated. She was obviously the traverser, so why did she see something worse than Nurkic?

However, Skyler didn't express it, after all, she more or less wanted face.

"Yes, sir!"

Nurkic took the order to leave, but the solemnity on his face did not relax a bit, after all, judging from his one-year experience as a part-time general staff member in the headquarters.

Most navies are still in the realm of disappointment. At the point of being disappointing, most navies never disappoint.

It can even be said that the 219 nautical mile waters of the New World are actually the best sea area controlled by the navy.

After all, the headquarters sent Garp and Skyler, two of the best naval generals in the two eras, to the New World, and the other three generals were also well-known generals.

Five people leading five elite detachments to guard only 219 nautical miles of sea area is actually very wasteful, but only such waste can alleviate the incompetence of the four seas and the first half of the great waterway.

Even the East China Sea, which has been called the weakest sea, has begun to show signs of evil recovery due to Garp not often returning to his hometown in recent years, if Smoker hadn't guarded the last hurdle of the East China Sea.

Then the title of the so-called weakest sea in the East China Sea will probably be removed.

However, rather than highlighting the excellence of certain generals and the elite of certain detachments, Nurkic hopes that the quality of the entire navy can be improved.

After all, in that case, in the new world, I don't need to think about the group of colleagues in the first half of the great channel.

After Nurkic compiled the information he had obtained from various detachments into a report, added his own analysis, and sent it to the headquarters for a week, he finally received a reply from the headquarters.

The headquarters stated that it will attach great importance to this matter and carefully organize various naval personnel to analyze the matter. Once the news is confirmed, the headquarters will seriously deploy to deal with Crocodile's conspiracy and resolve the potential crisis in Alabasta.

All in all, this is an impeccably formal reply letter, but this formality also happens to be a kind of disregard.

Nurkic can only find a way to continue to collect more clues, and then make the headquarters pay more attention to this matter.

After all, it was hard for the headquarters to directly believe that the Zhanye Detachment, as its own officer, had targeted Crocodile. Although it was abnormal, Nurkic could understand what the headquarters was thinking.

All kinds of reasons can be traced back to nearly twenty years ago. At that time, Schuyler could not be called a navy, but only a navy recruit.

Although Nurkic was not at the same age as Skyler, he had also heard various information about Skyler when he was a recruit. Crocodile, who had just become King Shichibukai at the time, had publicly stated that the scar on his face was Thanks to Skyler.

But if the truth is true at that time, from the perspective of a normal person, there must have been a conflict between Skyler and Crocodile, and it was not a small conflict.

Later, after Schuyler became the lieutenant general of the headquarters, the two Shichibukai meetings he presided over had actions against Crocodile, which made it easy to think that there was a personal enmity between Schuyler and Crocodile.

Therefore, as long as Skyler does the slightest detriment to Crocodile, it will make people feel that there must be Skyler's personal grievances mixed in.

What's more, this time the accusation against Crocodile in Alabasta was passed by the Zhanye detachment who was thousands of nautical miles away, and even had a barrier like the Red Earth Continent in the middle.

Therefore, the veracity of this accusation is doubtful. After all, it may be Skyler's personal revenge.

What's more, Crocodile has always been a typical example of the Shichibukai promoted by the navy and the world government. The navy and the world government want more pirates to know that pirates can also be heroes.

As long as you are strong enough and have a heart to help the common people, you can choose to become the king of Shichibukai, and then settle in a country to protect the safety of one side and gain support and fame.

Seven kings under the Qibuhai, for the navy and the world government, the only ones that really have long-term value are Crocodile and Haku.

Crocodile represents the coexistence between the people and the pirates, and Haku represents the coexistence between humans and other races, and these two are actually more important than others.

After all, Mihawk only does things as he pleases, Hancock just wants to protect her country, Xiong is still robbing pirates all over the world, and Katakuri has become the new emperor.

These people are not so much beneficial to the world government, but let them become Qibuhai, just to make them harmless. Only Crocodile and Haku are what the world government and navy should look like in the eyes of the Qiwuhai .

Therefore, just based on Schuyler's guess, it is like letting the navy really attack Crocodile, which is tantamount to fantasy. This has nothing to do with Schuyler's status. Even one of the three generals cannot shake the navy and The choice of world government.

It's just that if you can understand it, you can understand it, but it is difficult for Nurkic to agree with the attitude of the Navy Headquarters. As far as this matter is concerned, the Navy only sees Crocodile's "usefulness".

Instead of analyzing the cost of his "usefulness" and "easy to use", things with clearly marked prices may seem expensive, but they can be clearly recognized.

But Crocodile, which only promotes "free" beauty, is actually beautiful or not, or whether it is cheap or not, is still an unknown, and the unknown is the most terrifying.

The most urgent task at the moment is to let the Navy fully see what Crocodile wants to ask for after paying.

Of course, he could have asked Skyler to skip all the procedures and go directly to Lieutenant General He and Marshal Warring States, but... this would offend other members of the staff except He.

That group of guys who think about evil people every day. Nurkic has worked with them, and knows that they are cruel to pirates, and they are also not tolerant to their own people.

And Nurkic also knows that Skyler is working hard to maintain the relationship with every admiral, and he certainly can't let his chief's efforts go to waste because of this incident.

Therefore, Nurkic must make Skyler justified, and it is not enough to rely on current speculation.

Not to mention Crane and Warring States, will Skyler's personal reasons overturn the collective reasoning of the staff, even if these two agree, what about the world government?

Therefore, Nurkic must find an opportunity to put Crocodile to death.

In the first half of the Great Channel, there is only one person who can trust Skyler unconditionally, and is willing to move to help Skyler find or create this opportunity. There is only that one, and his detachment.
